The mainstream political parties have started segment-wise analysis of the winning prospects of their party candidates in the first phase of elections.
All the parties are convinced that they will win majority of the seats in the first phase and have an upper hand in the second phase of elections which will be held on April 23.
Speculative reports in the regional media, based on poll trends gave a clear lead to the Grand Alliance led by the Telugu Desam. Out of the 154 Assembly seats, the reports suggest that the GA will get anywhere between 100 to 110 seats. The lead is attributed to the successful promotion of the colour TVs and Cash Transfer Schemes. The reports prompted the TD chief, Mr N. Chandrababu Naidu, to issue advertisements in select vernacular newspapers thanking voters for “reimposing the confidence in him and thanking them for helping the party win.”
He also said the new schemes announced by him had gone well in the polls. The TD chief told party leaders to focus on the remaining seats without being complacent. The internal assessment of the party was that it will win 80 out of the 154 Assembly seats. It requires another 70 to get a majority.
On account of these projections, several Congressmen contesting the second phase of elections, enquired from their counterparts in Telangana about the prospects of the party.
Meanwhile, sources in the intelligence department gave a report on the poll trends orally to the Chief Minister. It gave 18 to 20 seats to the Congress in the north coastal region, and 40-45 seats in the Telangana region. It projected that the GA would have a small edge over the Congress in the Telangana region, and gave 60 seats to the alliance and another six to eight seats in the north coastal area.

KEY CONSTITUENCY: Tirupati
This temple town has been in the political limelight ever since Telugu megastar Chiranjeevi decided to contest from this prestigious Tirupati Assembly constituency.
In fact, it was from here last August that Konidela Chiranjeevi launched his ‘Praja Rajyam Party’ to capture power in Andhra Pradesh on the twin planks of ‘social justice’ and ‘social security.’
Significantly, the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) founder, the late N.T. Rama Rao, chose the same constituency to make his electoral debut in 1983, when he went on to break the Congress’ hegemony in the State.
Mr. Chiranjeevi is also contesting from Palacole in his native West Godavari district to satisfy ‘local sentiment,’ but says his candidature in Tirupati is to fulfil ‘divine sentiment.’
The entry of ‘Chiru,’ as he is fondly known by his fans, has pepped up what otherwise have been a sedate contest in a constituency in which the Congress and TDP have shared the honours almost equally.
With its four lakh population, the town is fast emerging as a major educational and economic hub. The burgeoning city has expanded so much that its peripheral areas have been delinked during delimitation exercise and annexed to the contiguous Chandragiri, once the capital of the Vijayanagara rulers.
Locking horns with the matinee idol are B. Karunakar Reddy of the Congress, a former Tirupati Tirumala Devasthanam (TTD) Board Chairman and blue-eyed boy of Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy, and K. Sankar Reddy of the TDP, a close associate of former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and a former Tirupati Municipal Corporation chairperson. G. Bhanuprakash Reddy is the BJP candidate.
But for the ‘Chiru’ factor, the contest in Tirupati would otherwise be a neck and neck race between two formidable candidates of two equally formidable parties. Mr. Chiranjeevi is a huge crowd-puller; but it remains to be seen whether this will translate into votes.
The Congress and the TDP downplay the crowd factor as mere cinema glamour, but Chiru fans and members of his community — Balijas/Kapus who have thrown their lot behind him almost en masse — call it wishful thinking. Incidentally, the Balija community is the single largest in Tirupati, with 23,000 voters.
While Mr. Karunakar Reddy pins his hopes on the work he did for Tirupati-Tirumala as TTD Chairman, Mr. Sankar Reddy, the former civic chief, is confident that his developmental work will see him through.
Mr. Chiranjeevi’s image and the PRP’s hype has taken a beating in the last one week after resignations by senior party leaders alleging huge kickbacks in the allotment of party tickets to business tycoons. But, the ‘Chiru’ factor is too big to be ignored.

It’s election time and there is a lot of scope for the media to cook up wonderful scoops.
Just as Sakshi brought out Naidu tapes scandal, another Telugu daily Surya has come out with a highly imaginative “scoop” to entertain the readers. According to this exclusive story, Telugu Desam star campaigner Jr NTR was injured on the day of Ugadi not because of accident, but because of a “Kshudra Pooja” performed by the Congress leaders. And this was found out by some priests who closely studied his horoscope after the accident.
The report says the detractors of Jr NTR performed Kala Bhairava Aghora poojas for 10 days at Trisur in Kerala prior to the incident. As many as eight sorcerers participated in this pooja, which was supervised by an IAS officer, who earlier worked in Kerala as Collector and is now in Hyderabad. It was because of this Kala Bhairava pooja that Jr NTR had to apply sudden brakes on seeing a dog on the road, which led to the accident.
And the story suggests a remedy too. Jr NTR has to perform Rudra Pooja as per Rudra Mayalaya Tantram. And he will be back to business in 10-15 days!
How about making a film based on this story?

DICHPALLI (NIZAMABAD): Praising the late prime minister Indira Gandhi for her straightforward politics, Prajarajyam Party president Chiranjeevi said chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy would have not continued in his post had Indira Gandhi been alive today.
Addressing the last public meeting before the first phase of election at Dichpalli on Tuesday, Chiranjeevi alleged that YSR keeps AICC president Sonia Gandhi in good humour by sending wads of currency. “Whenever she comes she heaps praises on YSR only because of the briefcases being sent by the CM to Delhi,” he charged.
Hitting out at the opposition parties’ criticism on PRP’s social justice plank, he said for the first time in Indian political history, 104 seats have been allocated to BCs and six SC/STs candidates accommodated in general seats. “Is it not social justice?” he thundered.
He blamed both the ruling Congress and the TDP of failing to give much seats to BCs who constitute 50 per cent of the state’s population. Earlier addressing a public meeting at Nehru Park in Nizamabad town, the PRP chief said the budgetary allocation for AP Minority Finance Corporation would be hiked to Rs 1000 crore from Rs 180 crore if PRP is voted to power.

Banjara Hills police on Tuesday seized Rs 5 lakh in cash from an election campaigning vehicle of TRS’ Medak Lok Sabha candidate Vijayashanti at Kamalapuri Colony.
At about 7 pm, police intercepted a Tata Safari (AP9 EX T/R 5299) as part of the vehicle-checking exercise at Kamalapuri Colony.
During the inspection, police found bundles of currency amounting to Rs five lakh in the handbag of one K Srinivasa Rao, 39, who was sitting in the rear seat of the vehicle, Banjara Hills inspector of police Iqbal Siddiqi said.
Srinivasa Rao is a make-up artiste from Avanti Nagar in Erragadda. As he could not give proper explanation for the source of the money, police seized the cash and the vehicle under section 102 (power of police to seize certain property) of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC).
During investigation, police found that the vehicle belonged to one Jayanthi Rao of Goshamahal and the returning officer of the Medak parliamentary constituency had issued permission to use the vehicle for campaigning purposes of Vijayashanti or her agent.
In a related development, the enforcement wing of the Dhoolpet excise police station, raided a house in Upper Dhoolpet and seized 148 beer bottles and 40 Bagpiper whisky bottles worth Rs 20,000. The officials arrested one Ashok and booked cases against him, said excise superintendent K Satyanarayana.

Praja Rajyam Party women’s wing president Shobha Rani, known for her loud mouth character, has crossed all limits of decency.
On Tuesday, she along with her friends, attacked NTV office, beat up a woman reporter Rehana and damaged the camera. She wanted to register her protest against a sting operation conducted by the channel exposing match-fixing between PRP and the Congress leaders in Bhongir Lok Sabha constituency. The report said the PRP had deliberately fielded a weak candidate in Bhongir by taking money. Hence the attack.
Shobha, who belongs to the clan of MRPS president Manda Krishna, seems to have thought she would get more publicity by resorting to physical attacks. Unfortunately, she got only bad name.

Dummy Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) are to be put up at all the polling stations to help familiarize voters with their use before entering the balloting booth,
Such a move from the Election Commission would go a long way in educating the voter about exercising his right.
The Election Commission has also clearly stated no poll official is allowed to enter the booth when votes are being cast through the EVM. This way the EC is ensuring a transparent and unbiased approach to the elections.
One hopes that the political parties and the people would appreciate these efforts from the EC and make the elections a trouble free affair.
